The Comfy Chair

While I definitely do appreciate how reluctance to critique stories publicly could impact this topic and discussion, I want to state preemptively that discussion in this thread should stay focused on the original post; I see what you're saying here as encouragement to others to provide specific examples to illustrate their points, or a desire on your part to see those examples given, and not a desire to open discussion about public crit, but others might not. That's a discussion for another time and place; let's keep discussion in this thread centered on the original poster's ideas. (I'm sure you weren't intending to open such a discussion; this was intended for anyone who might want to follow up on your comment with discussion of public crit rather than the original topic.)
